May 2010 Fish Tail Winner... Casey Gibson of Dowagiac Michigan!

This is my 1st year of running copper so it is new to me and my partner. The day before on 5-2-10 we go out and try our new copper, we let all of our copper out and clip our boards on, which was a different brand than Church’s. We try to let out our copper and it just runs behind the boat, so I call one of my buddies to ask what I am doing wrong, he proceeds to tell me that I have the wrong brand of boards.  I couldn't believe it would make that much of a difference, but I take his word for it. I get out of work early on 5-3-10, my partner Dr. Carlton Lyons meets me at the launch, I told him I have to run over to Tackle Haven and pick up some new boards. So we run over there and pick up a pair of the TX-22’s. We get on the water and Doc is assembling the boards as we head down the river. We make it out to 165 fow on a 300 heading and start setting poles. I couldn’t wait to run these new TX-22 boards, so I let all the copper out like the day before, clip the board on, the board takes of to the side like it isn’t pulling anything, amazing!! I was truly scared of loosing a board fishing for salmon, because I know the "other brand"  I had used would pop off all the time fishing for Walleyes. The connection point on the TX-22 is flawless, there is no way they can come off. So Doc reeled in the 1st screamer which was close to 18 lbs, which came on a Dreamweaver sos spoon. The next fish was mine, and it was very close to being the same as Docs, except his was close to being a ½ lb bigger than mine. So I told him that we should take a picture of both fish so people didn’t think we were taking a picture of the same fish!! LOL. We ended our day 2pm-8pm catching 6 Coho’s and 4 Kings in 135 -165 fow just south of the piers in St.Joe. Thanks for making such a awesome product.
 

April 2010 Fish Tail Winner.... Bert Herriman of Alpena Michigan!

2 weeks ago; April 17th me and a couple buddies went out in the cold to try and catch few Atlantic Salmon, we ran mono behind Church Walleye Boards and stickbaits, inside boards are three colors of leadcore with spoons attached. Well after a few hrs of unsuccessful Atlantic Salmon fishing we decided to down size and try closer to shore. So we snuck up into 12 ft water downsized our tackle to 6 lb test, mini church boards (TX-6) , and small blue and silver thundersticks. About 20 mins into troll I hooked this monster Lake Trout and successfully, as you can see, landed him. After a few pics and huge smiles, we let him swim and reloaded our arsenal, was shortly after we caught one just a bit smaller.
